Patrick Sheltra, No.  60 PatrickSheltra.com / Ferguson Pipe Dodge Charger,  
Northwest  Ohio Ford Dealers 200 Fast Facts 
ARCA Racing Series  Race No. 17, Northwest  Ohio Ford Dealers 200,  
Toledo (Oh.)  Speedway, Toledo, Ohio  
Race Information:  Event: Northwest  Ohio Ford Dealers 200, Sunday, 
September 12 at 2:00  p.m. Local Time Track: Toledo Speedway Qualifying: Saturday,  
September 11, at 3:30 p.m. Local Time; Track Length: .5-mile  paved-oval. 
Last Time Out; Du Quoin State  Fairgrounds: On  the heels of two 
consecutive victories in the ARCA Racing Series (ARS) presented  by RE/MAX and 
Menards, Indiantown, Florida native returned to the one-mile clay  oval looking to 
complete the Illinois sweep. After practicing in the top-10, a  mechanical 
gremlin in qualifying kept Sheltra from notching his first ever ARCA  pole. 
However, after starting 16th, Sheltra wasted no time moving his  No. 60 
Performance Vehicle Works Dodge Charger to the front. Quickly, Sheltra  moved 
into the top-10 before feathering into the top-five and despite a changing  
track and numerous cautions Sheltra was forced to hang on for a fourth place  
finish, his ninth top-five run of the year and his best finish at the Du 
Quoin  (Ill.) State Fairgrounds since 2008.  
Returning To The  Buckeye State: For the eighth time  in his ARCA Racing 
Series career, Patrick Sheltra will take the green flag at  Toledo Speedway 
Sunday afternoon. In seven prior efforts at the Northern Ohio  short track, 
Sheltra has maneuvered two top-five finishes including a runner-up  finish in 
May 2008. Additionally, Sheltra has posted two additional top-10 runs  
including an eighth place finish in the most recent ARCA race at Toledo in May’s 
Menards  200 by Federated Car Care. Sheltra’s average  finishing position is 
13th at ARCA’s home-town  facility. 
Bring Me To  Life: For the  17th race of the year, Sheltra and crew chief 
Jon Wolfe mutually  agreed to repair Sheltra Motorsports chassis No. 10, a 
former Richard Childress  Racing Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS for Sunday’s 
anticipated thrilled. Last raced at  Toledo Speedway in the spring of 2009, the 
automobile has since sat dormant from  racing action until the repair. The team 
has also transformed the hot rod, which  is responsible for Sheltra’s best 
outing at Toledo Speedway, a second in 2008 to  a Dodge Charger for the 
Northwest Ohio Ford Dealers 200.  
Autographs  Anyone?: Race  fans will receive an opportunity to meet one of 
the hottest drivers on the ARCA  tour this weekend. After his duties at the 
track on  Sunday morning, Sheltra will participate in pre-race activities at 
the half-mile  oval by participating in the traditional on-track autograph 
signing from 12:00  p.m. to 1:15 p.m. local time.

New  Record Set; But Thirsty For More: While  eclipsing his ninth top-five 
finish of the year at the Du Quoin (Ill.) State  Fairgrounds, Patrick 
Sheltra continues to rewrite his own personal record books  for the number of 
finishes inside the top-five and top-10 for a full-season. In  his previous 
three full-time seasons, Sheltra had posted a season high of four  top-five 
finishes in 2009. Sheltra’s personal best overall season of nine top-10  
finishes in 2008 was overtaken again by his performance in the Southern Illinois  
100. Thus far in 2010, Sheltra has mastered two wins, nine top-fives and 13  
top-10 finishes in 16 races. Sheltra is hoping to expand his new personal 
record  with four races remaining this year.   
Point’s Check: 16  races down, four to go, Sheltra with the guidance of 
crew chief Jon Wolfe sits  first in the ARCA Racing Series  championship 
standings accumulating  3870 points and tied with fellow racer Tom Hessert for the 
top-spot. The  driver nicknamed “Mr. Showtime�?? rose from third to first 
with his impressive  performance in the Southern Illinois 100 at the Du Quoin 
(Ill.) State  Fairgrounds. The 24-year old Sheltra also controls the  first 
position in the ARS car owner standings. The top-seven ARCA Racing  Series 
drivers are separated by just 175 points to the leader for control of the  
top spot in the championship chase. Earlier this year, Sheltra held the 
top-spot  for three consecutive races (Toledo, Michigan and Pocono) in a row after 
also  sharing the top-spot with Parker Kligerman for one race (Rockingham 
(N.C.)  Speedway) in 2009.   
Sheltra’s Covered In  Special Point Standings Too: While the Sheltra  
Motorsports team is searching for their first championship, the team is still  
after a host of other awards too. Patrick Sheltra and mother Grace Sheltra 
leads  the ARCA “special points�?? Superspeedway Challenge sector. Car owner 
Grace  Sheltra leads Kevin Cywinski (No. 32) by a 90-point gap entering the 
final  speedway race of the season at Kansas Speedway on September 30. 
Currently,  Patrick Sheltra is first in the CGS  Imaging Hard Charger, first in the  
Racing Electronics Lighting Challenge and first in the Fast Track High  
Performance Driving School award.  
Nice Statistic;  Solid Stats: By posting his  13th top-10 finish of the 
season at the  Du Quoin (Ill.) State Fairgrounds on September 6, Sheltra is the 
only  driver in the ARCA Racing Series to finish inside the top-10 in 13 of 
the 16  races completed thus far in 2010. Sheltra kicked off his strongest 
start to an  ARCA season with a fifth place performance at Daytona, a 10th 
place  performance at Palm Beach, a fourth place run at Salem Speedway, a 
seventh place  outing at Texas Motor Speedway, his season-best second at ‘Dega, 
an eighth at  Toledo Speedway, a fourth place run at  Pocono (Pa.) Raceway, 
a third place outing in the Racing for Wildlife 200 at  Michigan 
International Speedway, a sixth place at Pocono (Pa.) Raceway, a  second-place outing 
in the Berlin ARCA 200 at Berlin (Mich.) Raceway, a  13th place outing at 
New Jersey Motorsports Park and most recently, a  win on the dirt at the 
Illinois  State Fairgrounds and another win at Chicagoland Speedway, and a  
fourth place result in round number 16 at the Du Quoin (Ill.) State Fairgrounds.  
 
Patrick Sheltra ARCA  Career At-A-Glance: Entering  Toledo, Sheltra has 82 
ARCA Racing Series presented by RE/MAX and Menards starts  to his credit 
with three career victories at Salem (Ind.) Speedway (April 2009),  the 
Illinois State Fairgrounds (August 2010) and Chicagoland Speedway (August  2010). 
During his ARCA tenure, Sheltra has accumulated 18 top-fives and posted  34

Sheltra Motorsports,  Toledo Speedway Pre-Race Quotes: Patrick Sheltra, 
driver / owner of the No. 60  PatrickSheltra.com / Ferguson Pipe Enterprises  
Dodge Charger.   
On The Du Quoin  (Ill.) State Fairgrounds: “After  the disappointing finish 
we had there in 2009, I was pleased to leave there with  another top-five. 
I wanted the Illinois sweep but circumstances out of control  kept us from 
doing that. It doesn’t matter though, the team worked their tails  off and 
gave me a completely rebuilt car and we were fast! I appreciate their  efforts 
and we’ll get a third win of the year here soon.�??  
On Toledo Speedway: “Toledo  has been a decent place for me over the years. 
I know what I need to do this  weekend and that’s do what we’ve been doing 
over the last month or two. Using my  head, keeping the fenders clean and 
staying the near the front will keep our  championship dream alive.�??   
On Resurrecting Chassis No. 10 : “It’s  always been a good racecar at 
Sheltra Motorsports. It’s a shame that it was torn  up last May here but we 
really felt if we wanted to have a shot at winning the  race on Sunday, this car 
could help us do it. I have to thank Performance  Vehicle Works for the 
magnificent job they did transforming the car to a Dodge.  I’m happy to put 
this car back on the race track.�??   
On The Goal For  Sunday: “For  13 races this year, we’ve been able to 
finish in the top-10. That’s our number  goal on Sunday. I want to win, just 
like every driver and team does but if  Sunday isn’t our day to do that again 
this year but we can escape Toledo with a  top-10 run, we’ll take it. Points 
are so critical at this stage in the game, we  just need to grab as many of 
them as we possibly can.�??  
On Points: “Obviously,  the points are still extremely tight. We’ll be 
thinking about point’s on Sunday.  We have too. My main priority is to leave 
Toledo Speedway on Sunday with the  same position we did entering Toledo, 
first. We’ll move on to Salem Speedway and  do it all over again.�??
